"Xiaomeng, book two tickets to country A."

Zhang Xiaomeng had never been to Country A before, and her eyes lit up immediately when she heard that.

"Huh? Is it to promote the English version of 'The Lone Warrior'? When is it scheduled? I have to record a song tomorrow, so is it the day after tomorrow?"

Fang Ruoxi calculated the recording time and said, "It's scheduled for around 3 pm."

Zhang Xiaomeng's eyes widened. "Ah! Doesn't that mean we have to fly right after filming the show? Is it that rushed?"

She scrolled through her phone, remembering that Fang Ruoxi was now a celebrity, and hesitated whether to book a first-class ticket for Ruoxi. But she herself couldn't bear to fly first class.

"Okay, let's pack our suitcases now, and tomorrow we'll take them to the TV station for the recording, and then fly straight there."

Fang Ruoxi noticed Zhang Xiaomeng's dilemma, went over to take a look, and saw her studying the first-class cabin with a pained expression.

She reached over and selected two economy class tickets, then clicked to checkout.

Fang Ruoxi would send Zhang Xiaomeng two sums of money each month: one was Zhang Xiaomeng's salary, and the other was for their travel expenses.

Zhang Xiaomeng was used to living frugally. Even though Fang Ruoxi gave her a lot of money, she only spent it on things that needed to be spent and never spent it extravagantly on things that didn't need to be spent. She was just like a little housekeeper.

A first-class ticket to country A costs tens of thousands of yuan.

Fang Ruoxi chose two economy class tickets, "I'm not that important, why would I insist on sitting in first class?"

Fang Ruoxi turned around to pack her things.

Zhang Xiaomeng was somewhat moved.

Fang Ruoxi has the money to fly first class. Not to mention anything else, the copyright for "Painting Heart" is about to be sold again.

Even so, Fang Ruoxi was still willing to sit in economy class with her.

Their sisterly bond remained unchanged despite Fang Ruoxi's increasingly successful career.

After packing their things, the two checked their documents again to make sure nothing was left behind before going to sleep.

However, Zhang Xiaomeng was so excited about flying to Country A that she couldn't sleep...

The next morning, Fang Ruoxi was surprised to find herself both angry and amused when she saw Zhang Xiaomeng, who had turned into a 'panda'.

Having learned her lesson from last time, Fang Ruoxi did her own smoky eye makeup and paired it with a cool black leather jacket.

"Wow! Is this song rock?" Zhang Xiaomeng picked up her phone and snapped a bunch of photos of her new look.

"No."

"I've never heard you sing before."

Fang Ruoxi can sing, but she has never sung in Zou Rong's recording studio.

Because the people in Zou Rong's area are too diverse.

Fang Ruoxi had seen too many monsters and demons in her past life. She had been tricked and suffered great losses because of her gullibility.

After that, she learned her lesson and habitually kept a backup plan in unsafe places.

As for practicing singing... I practiced when I went for a morning run around the moat at 5:30 in the morning.

Singing as he ran.

"Of course, I practice during my morning run." The results were remarkable; my breathing became more and more stable, and I sang better and better.

The two of them pulled their suitcases out the door and got into the car while chatting.

Zhang Xiaomeng muttered to herself, "Once I make some money, I'll buy a car, then move. I need to make a room specifically for my creative work..."

Just as Fang Ruoxi was about to reply, she heard Zhang Xiaomeng start snoring softly.

Fang Ruoxi: "..."

At six o'clock in the morning, there were few cars on the street, and we arrived at the TV station quickly.

Fang Ruoxi skillfully dragged the half-asleep Zhang Xiaomeng out of the car.

A slightly chilly morning breeze jolted Zhang Xiaomeng awake.

"Fang Ruoxi, over here!" A person wearing a work badge saw them and immediately waved.

This time, Director Zhou directly sent staff from the production crew to wait for the two of them at the main entrance.

"Hello, hello! Thank you for coming all this way." Zhang Xiaomeng snapped out of her daze and forced herself to go out and socialize.

"Hey, it's alright, hurry up and go up!" the middle-aged woman said warmly.

She helped the two of them obtain temporary entry and exit permits.

Zhang Xiaomeng pulled a USB drive from her pocket. "I held onto it the whole way, even while I was sleeping, afraid of losing it. This work badge is great; I can just hang it on, it won't get lost!"

Fang Ruoxi smiled.

The show was recorded at 10 o'clock, but there was a lot of preparation to be done. Although it was still early, many people were already spinning like tops, relying on coffee to keep going.

Once backstage at the show's production team, Fang Ruoxi was like a 'raw material' on an assembly line, undergoing a complete makeover, from makeup to clothing.

She was pressed down in front of the dressing table, surrounded by other contestants who were curiously observing her.

Director Zhou took some time to come over in person.

The old lady went straight to Fang Ruoxi, "Little Fang, you're going to be the grand finale, is the new song okay?"

Fang Ruoxi was putting on makeup. "No problem, Director Zhou."

Director Zhou nodded and patted her on the shoulder, "Sing well, the ratings were good last time..."

She seemed hesitant to speak, but the dressing room was crowded and noisy, so she ultimately said nothing.

When Director Zhou left, he saw Zhang Xiaomeng sitting on her suitcase, catching up on sleep against the wall.

Here, Fang Ruoxi was taken to the 'next assembly line' after her makeup was done.

Zhang Xiaomeng was woken up by her staff.

Where is your accompaniment?

Zhang Xiaomeng was still a little confused. "Huh? What accompaniment..."

The staff member panicked immediately, "It's the song Fang Ruoxi is going to sing last! Where's the accompaniment? Hurry up! She's the grand finale! Lots of leaders in the station are watching!"

Zhang Xiaomeng woke up and immediately stood up in a hurry.

"I brought it with me, it's right here. I was afraid of losing it, so I hung it around my neck."

As she spoke, she touched her chest.

When they entered the station, the two of them wore their access passes around their necks. Zhang Xiaomeng immediately attached the USB drive containing the accompaniment music to it, saying that it was safer that way, otherwise what if it got lost if she put it in her pocket?

As a result, she only found the access card; the USB drive... was gone.

In an instant, all the color drained from Zhang Xiaomeng's face.

The staff noticed, "Don't panic. I see you brought a suitcase. Think carefully, is it in the suitcase?"

Without her saying anything, Zhang Xiaomeng had already frantically opened the box and started rummaging through it.

Soon, the ground around her was covered with items like a street stall, but there was no USB drive.

Zhang Xiaomeng was already crying anxiously, "No, how could I not have it? I definitely brought it with me, I'm not mistaken. I was afraid of losing it when I entered the TV station, so I attached it to this access pass..."

Tears fell like beads from a broken string.

The staff member was even more anxious than her, "Director Zhou has Fang Ruoxi as the final act this time, you should quickly ask if there's a backup!"

Zhang Xiaomeng suddenly snapped back to reality, "Oh! Yes! There is!"

Her hands trembled as she took out her phone and dialed Zou Rong's number.

"Hey! It's me, Zou Rong! Take a look, Ruoxi recorded the backing track at your place last time, you must have a backup! Hurry, send me a copy."

"What?! You're not in the recording studio?! You're in the recording studio every day!"

"What should I do! Zou Rong, I lost Ruoxi's accompaniment!" Zhang Xiaomeng broke down in tears.

Upon hearing this, the staff member realized that this half-baked agent was unreliable, and went to find Director Zhou with a grim expression.

Fang Ruoxi was informed of this while waiting to go on stage.

Director Zhou came over personally. "Xiao Fang, you know now, I've already sent someone to check the surveillance footage."

Fang Ruoxi's raven-feather-like eyelashes were half-drooping.

Director Zhou couldn't see the look in her eyes at that moment. "How about I issue an announcement this time, saying that you..."

"No need." Fang Ruoxi's voice was like ice, cold and crisp.

Seeing that she wasn't flustered at all, Director Zhou guessed, "What? Girl, you had a backup plan? You have a backup of the accompaniment?"

"No."

Director Zhou: "..."

Fang Ruoxi asked softly, "Director Zhou, do you have a keyboard?"

……

A black Phantom was parked next to the park in the middle of the street outside the TV station.

A middle-aged woman with a name tag around her neck ran out of the TV station in a panic, her hand clenched into a fist, as if she was afraid someone was chasing her.

The black luxury car was too eye-catching; the middle-aged woman ran to the side of the road and saw it immediately.

Once she reached the back seat, she raised her hand, hesitantly trying to knock on the car window, but the window rolled down first, leaving only a crack.

The person sitting in the back seat was wearing a British-style hat, and a veil covered half of their face.

The wealthy man in the back seat didn't speak or turn his head to look at the people outside the car window; he simply handed over a check between two fingers.

After seeing the numbers on it, the middle-aged woman handed over a silver USB drive.

I got the USB drive.

The car window closed mercilessly.

The driver started the Phantom and drove it away from the roadside.

In the back seat, Zhang Hanyu opened the wine cabinet, took out a bottle of red wine, poured half a glass, took a sip, and said softly, "Big brother still has the same old problem, he looks down on women."

"He didn't take Fang Ruoxi seriously."

"But I don't think so. I think Fang Ruoxi will definitely become a major problem."

As she spoke, she tossed the USB drive into her wine glass.

The silver USB drive sank to the bottom.

The driver remarked at the opportune moment, "Miss is so composed."

Zhang Hanyu smiled and said, "I just keep what my grandmother taught me in mind."

She leaned back, closed her eyes, and said, "Either do nothing, or do it thoroughly."
